Me and my friend UraTriUra from the OC invoked the Doctor today at 3:10 my time, 10:10 PM his time. The date was not an accident – we were going for numerological correspondence with Ten. Synchronistically, Matt Smith’s run premiered today. Energy was explosive -I even created a memetic Bussard Collector to soak up fan energy from the season premiere/first Smith episode π
I did the LBRP, MP, invoked the higher self and Jim Kirk (a pwnage godform in my personal system), then traveled in the Enterprise to a location in space, and began to speak to the Doctor. It took a few seconds, but I’m sure it was him π
First off, I kinda forgot to be Smith (UraTriUra and I were going to use the magical personas of Smith nd Jones, lol) and tried to switch to that persona at the beginning of our conversation. He said “no, you are not Smith. You are you.” So I was π
Then he started a..confusing line of thought. I’m not sure where I interfered. It seems that he was kinda peeved at the idea of me plotting requests, with no thought of actually learning. I’m like “but I’m a mage, not only a mystic…I want power and control, too!” Well guess what buddy…Torchwood were after scientific secrets and power too, and look at them! Gee…y’mean my ego has to die for you to like me? Not die, Jon, unite with the rest of you. (Paraphrased anyway :P) We had a big discussion about overextending the ego leading to destruction, and I realized that not only is the Point of Hadit the ego, but the Circle of Nuit gives it a big hug – union and void-peace. One could say that this union with the void is what sustains the fusion-star Point, like a big nutrient bath. (Heart of the TARDIS, maybe? :D) I kinda extrapolated that bit in the last few minutes – but it fits with what he showed me. Circle and point are a current obsession of mine π
Then we went on to the requests: Improvisational win powers like the Doctor has (for magic first, then, if possible, for daily life) and astral travel skillz (related to his role as a time-space sojourner). The first cannot be bestowed, it must be learned. But he gave me a boost for it – I saw a staircase leading up, deeper into space, and I moved up the first few steps π
Then he showed me a secret for the second request – it seems that the Doctor is big on letting people find their own way. He showed me hills and valleys, and asked me how they got that way. “Erosion?” No, people walked on them. You have to find the pathways – grooves, memetic linkages between ideas and concepts, places that have been traveled to or reinforced before. Sort of…roads and trails. Following these makes traveling easier.
Then I asked him if that was all he wished to speak about – I was done. He said no…look out there. We looked out a window, and there was an ocean of stars. He told me that they were there because people had the drive and the dream to travel to them – I asked him if he meant physical stars, the spiritual idea of a star (truth and light, maybe?) or people Stars. He said “all three.” Is it possible that the human drive to explore and to forge connections is what creates our findings, what we connect with? Or do I need to meditate on this more? I’m unsure. But I know that I will find out…all these mysteries are mine to discover.
Oh! I should totally add that I offered to pour out some of my Dr Pepper for him, but he refused. Instead, with his permission, I evoked his awesome into it π
Now all I need is a companion…my mind is already bigger on the inside than the outside. The Doctor may soon find himself with an astral competitor π
If UraTriUra agrees, I’ll post his magical record, or at least a rough recap of his side of the evocation here when I get it π
